Albedoman

dumped windows 10. had enough of the constant window update problems, virus crap, and bogging down with new software updates. Hate paying for windows software like word powerpoint etc. Went to linux mint back in 2015 and never looked back. My 12 year old computer with 16 gigs of memory hums like kitten. No viruses, runs quick as hell and use linux mint libre software for free. Updates on its own with nothing running in the background loading up to and and the updates are downloaded on my time, not windows. Major updates are free and best of all no virus checkers. Linux is king.

the media can stick this forecasted inferno summer where the sun doesn't shine ----- oops thats right here. Rinse repeat with drizzle again this weekend. This is just an incredible weather pattern we are stuck in. No storms can fire up east of Columbus Ohio. stratus rain clouds that hang on forever. The amount of mold spores has to be off the charts in our area. I wish for a normal convective squall line to appear with a cold front but I do see that happening until June. What really dislike is the gusty winds that have accompanied these stratus clouds like yesterday with 30 mph gusts and temps in the low 60's Its like fall weather

In my continuing review of after the fact NCEI temperature adjustments for Chester County PA I have reviewed the detailed monthly NCEI average temperatures for all 1,548 months since January 1895. For the first 1,271 months from January 1895 through November 2000. NCEI applied a post hoc chilling adjustment to the reported average temperatures for every single month for each and every year. So for all of those months the average reported temperatures as reported by the NWS Cooperative stations were chilled to an adjusted lower temperature. Since NCEI stopped these non-stop chilling adjustments starting in December 2000... they have now reversed gears and are now applying warming adjustments in 208 of the last 277 months or 75.1% of all months between December 2000 and December 2023. Also of note is that in every single summer month between June and September since way back in June 2006 and continuing through last September 2023....for each of those last 72 consecutive summertime months they have warmed each and every month. Cooling the past and warming the more recent and current years....that will get us to the answer. This averaging only goes to someones agenda for pushing global warming. Time to throw a monkey wrench into this averaging crap-- Urban spawl and imperviousenss with the urban heat island effect. Urban sprawl has a much more significant effect on the urban weather environment. Until these great global warming idiots realize this temp averaging adjustments to prove their point means nada they must consider how the albedo effect too. I can only imagine all of these solar panels installed in the past ten years will do from these huge solar farms and residential homes. The avg temps will start to cool in the upcoming years. When man effects the solar radiation averaging now- basically the NCEI placed an algorithmn to get the results they wish for which is not averaging- it is now considered playing with the numbers.

Seattle weather returns with a vengence for the next two weeks. The only sunny day in the next seven days is Friday and that is not even all sunny. I say screw the monthly average temps discusssion in this forum as its not worth even a discussion because it does not paint the entire picture of this May's weather. With a few days with near 90 highs really does make up for the weeks of 50 degree highs and lower 40's lows. One pathetic t-storm is a joke too. Days on end of cloudy stratus clouds with drizzle/light rain is a landscapers dream for mowing lawns. All I can say if this nasty weather pattern keeps up, we may not see a high in the 90's for all of June. All I want are 2-3 days of sunny days and temps in the low to mid 80's so I can spray my bug killer and clean the green algae off the deck. I guess that is asking for a miracle right now.

well, 45 degrees with moderate rain to srart the day.n What else is new. My heater is on as the house temp cannot even stay at 70 degrees with these cloudy below 50 degree high miserable days. I really hope tomorrow turns out to be sunny but I would expect nothing less than a sunny morning turning into a stratus cloud deck in the afternoon. All I want are 3-5 days of SW winds and chances of t -storms. Guess I wil not see that chance until Memorial day at this juncture. Dying el nino patterns are a real let down.

the high tomorrow barely reaching the 50's. That has to be the coldest high temp I've seen this late in May in a decade or more. Have to turn on the heat maybe. The extensive virga today was a no laughing matter. We finally have some rain now. I can breathe again. Where in the hell are my t-storms? A mid spring without t- storms is like having ten snow virga events in a row. Fustrating

all I can say it is way too cold. Cloudy with 45 degree temps for mid April during the day- BS. Give my heater a rest. No worry with pollen, the drizzle and cold temps keeping the windows shut for now. I see no 75+ degree days until mid May and chance of killing frost or freeze next week. Not a Spring to remember for sure

I tried copying the camera shot from phone the first time. I deleted it and reloaded it. One hell of a graupel thundershower. Ground was white and the cars.. Whole house shook. This was about an hour and half ago in Macungie PA

It is pouring agan here in Lehigh county. I should 4 inches easily in the next few hours

the drought guy here is drowning LMAO. 3.24 in of rain in the last 24-36 hours. Little Lehigh is flooding , Roads closed and farms fields underwater. Farmers say it will at least 2 weeks before they can get in the fields to plant. Its time for a good long warm dry spell. Since December, we have had nearly a years worth of precip (snow and rain) in Lehigh County already My thoughts-- eerily similar setup in this current weather pattern for continuing this wet spring and for an early tropical storm formation like Agnes in 72. A wet spring followed by an early tropical storm would be devastating for our area. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/06/19/hurricane-agnes-susquehanna-50years-storm/

no way in hell will I have a fit. It will take three months of below 1 inch of rain before the groundwater level and stream levels would even approach drought warning conditions. The local springs are up big time and the base flow of the Little Lehigh Creek in my backyard is still at bank-full. I expect flood warnings to be issued for the Trexlertown area at 1.5 inches of rain as the ground is still saturated tomorrow. I am more worried about more dead ash trees falling from the gusty winds as the soils are supersaturated. I expect Spring Creek rd to be closed by tomorrow afternoon too from the flooding. If a drought were to occur, drought warnings would not be issued until late August at the earliest. July is usually are heaviest precip month too. Weather world is in another world

another sunny day that has become cloudy. Please make this stop. Its been doing this since last June and the smoke fires.

you could have saved a bunch a money and visited macungie two weeks ago to see those rates LOL

what a dud- brief squall line of 45 mph winds. No t storms and heavy rain ended in three minutes. Too much hype. The rolling thunder this morning in the showers was the highlight of this event.

woopee, first t -storm of the new year- in February to say the least. It was nice to wake up hearing rolling thunder with the windows open. I miss the humidity. This is the first time in the past 30+ years I can remember a t storm in Feb but I may be wrong. More to come this afternoon.
